template-nix VS gotty

Nix is <3. Here's a template where you can take it for a spin on Gitpod.

Personally I run all my software via nix, in a monorepo with a layout similar to google3, that generates/serves docker images via https://github.com/google/nixery, supports x64/m1, local development, codespaces and gitpod.

👋Geoff here from Gitpod. Created something special for the OCaml community moments ago - https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-ocaml. If you prefer nix then adjust https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-nix. Enjoy 🧡

(FYI: A fun manual remote terminal. Totally insecure, but fun.)

Thank you for all the suggestions. I tried some of these and decided to go with GoTTY: https://github.com/yudai/gotty

GoTTY: Share your terminal as a web application Caddy

I love the command line and I am not fan of HTML. I recently learned about web terminals ( gotty ), got excited and I thought to myself: couldn't it be a new (old!) paradigm for web apps? This would be especially useful for back office, administration tasks.

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

There are programs like gotty that can show terminal output in a webpage. Some alternatives, https://alternativeto.net/software/gotty/ Like ttyd looks promising as well.

I'm not actually using a library I wrote or am working on, I'm hoping to use gotty on this server, which has been setup for go get and does work when I run the same commands in the bash script manually after ssh'ing in, it just doesn't work when I run it from the command as a startup cloud-init script when the server is defined from terraform. Am I missing something?
